Hi guys, Just wanting to know why the Captcha is so hard. I sometimes need to do the captcha 30-40 times. Can't there be a simpler way to do this. it's very frustrating when I google an address that I need to go to but it takes 15 minutes to get through the captcha. I end up closing Firefox & opening Chrome or Edge. Can something be done about this? Also, Captcha is not clear.. When it comes up with "Motorcycles" is the rider included in this? Or "Stairs" is the hand rail included in that? Please change it to make it simpler so I can continue using Firefox. I'm using Windows 10 on a computer.

Thanks guys

I agree. A few sites that I buy from have been a pain in the past, but I just checked 3 and they seem to have removed captcha. Provide an example site.

I think that the latest (re)CAPTCHA versions works automatically (invisible) without the need to take action. You can contact websites that have a difficult CAPTCHA and ask them to look into this. Sometimes you get get an audio CAPTCHA that might be easier.
